In Shafritz & Hyde’s textbook, Wilson (1887/2017) states, “Wherever regard for public opinion is a first principle of government, practical reform must be slow, and all reform must be full of compromise.

Hyde (Eds.), Classics of public administration (8th ed.) (pp. 35–47). Boston, MA: Cengage Learning. (Original work published 1887)
